Put a small amount of paint on a paper
for your child and allow them to roll
the egg through the paint. They can
also open the egg and use it as a stamp.
Change the colors for variety.
Sensory bin
Fill a large plastic bin or water table
with beans, rice, or water and add some
plastic easter eggs and small containers.
Some of the eggs may have holes so they
will enjoy watching the water slowly
pour out from the bottom. If using
rice and beans, they love to use them as
scoops to fill up larger containers with
the rice and beans. They may crack
them open and try to serve you dinner as
well.. Let the kids play with the sensory
bin as they would a sandbox providing
appropriate supervision.
Plastic Easter eggs are an affordable,
and sometimes free item, that you can
repurpose in many creative ways. Get
the kids involved and see what new
ideas you can come up with to reuse
your eggs. •
